The four-day symposium will include plenary, splinter, and poster sessions, as well as round tables with focused discussions. A plenary session for each theme will include inspirational keynote lectures focusing on science topics underpinning UN Ocean Decade activities and providing an overview of the research community’s current focus and vision for the future. Associated splinter sessions will be focusing on the symposium themes and discuss the progress in operational oceanography at the research level. There will also be town hall events on key topics with podium discussions and opportunities for active participation by the audience. Town hall discussions and training sessions, lively poster sessions and social events will enable informal interaction throughout the week.
Participants are invited to submit up to three abstracts for an oral or a poster presentation, indicating which themes they will address, ranking two themes by order of relevance at the abstract submission stage. Thematic breakout session titles will be communicated at a later stage, after the selection of abstracts. Deadline to submit an abstract is 31 May 2024: https://www.oceanpredict24.org/content/call-for-abstract
